April 1 theory
According to this twitter thread, this pandemic is being used by the White Hats to round up the Black Hats and then disclose long-suppressed information. The plan says that on 1 April there will commence a communications blackout (radio, TV, and presumably internet) for 10 days. During this time only the presidential Emergency Broadcasting System will be operative, and the only news available will be the government's massive disclosure program. Then, on Good Friday, the all-clear will be sounded, and the lockdown will end.
It's a nice theory, and the best part is we don't have to wait long to find out if there is any truth to the rumor.
